The thread of win
Re: The thread of win
Don't have to redo my Bio intensive school... That means more money and less boredom for me.

Re: The thread of win
Got not one, but three over draw fees returned, giving me 102 dollars back. The reason I over drew is Qwest fucked up on my bill and "refunded" me my money. So I bought what I needed, then the money disappeared and I over drew 3 times.
called qwest and found out it could take 14 days to A MONTH to get my money back, but now I has my 102 dollars and can fill up my tank and keep the rest for college.

Finally got my TAFE results yesterday. Among them were three distinctions and three credits.

From what I hear, it IS quite heavy.

Re: The thread of win
Last night I finally had enough of Mandee's crap and tore her a new one.
That's what she gets for being a hypocritical bitch. Sure she might try and make my life a living hell but I really don't think she can anymore. Made my week.

Re: The thread of win
YEAH! the only problem I see with this, is you tore her a new one for giving you crap. You just provided them means for her to double her output!

Re: The thread of win
Today I went to open a British Dairy Milk bar and, after being unable to open it the way I was used to (grip tab and pull down, tearing open package) discovered a sort of split tab on the back that makes it easier to open and seal.
And the wrapping is thicker than the bathroom tissue that Dairy Milks available in Canada are usually wrapped in.
I don't know why this excites me so much but WHY HAS NO ONE IMPLEMENTED THIS BEFORE?! It's GENIUS! D:

As a representative of the country that brought you British Dairy Milk bars may I just say: Thank you Please show your appreciation in the form of easily-concealable financial transactions.

On a less terrible grammar note, I am a directional awareness ninja. At MAGfest today, after having only been there for like twenty minutes, I was already giving people pin-point directions not just around the coNvention itself, but also how to get to places in DC and Alexandria.

Reminds me of when I was at Worldcon (having vowed not to volunteer at this convention) waiting for registration to open, and sat down on a chair. They built an information desk around me.
Most questions were answered with "Registration opens at 11.", "You need to go to Ops." and "Ops is Over There."
And then I ended up working on the Volunteer Registration Desk...

Re: The thread of win
So my new roommate (a subletter of my roommate who's on co-op) called me by the wrong name yesterday.
I wasn't really phased by it. We all kind of laughed and he clued in.
My other roommate questioned what it might be, and my new roommate was like "Well I had a crush on a girl named <incorrect name> so maybe it's that," in a joking manner of course.
And I was like "... You've made this whole thing weird now! lololol"
Then today he gave me a couple bags of stuff from Bulk Barn (for those who aren't Canadian, they sell a bunch of food products by weight like candy, grains, etc... also some other stuff) to make it up to me. Gummi bears, chocolate covered pretzels, dark chocolate with nuts in, party mix, and what is essentially ... cracker jacks.
He really didn't have to do that, but damn if I don't appreciate it! Nom nom nom!

Re: The thread of win
Last night, I was talking with a gentleman from Lebanon. He had been the conversation with a lot of people at the party and I only caught when things were winding down. We talked for a damn long time and as I started to head out, he told me that I was pretty much the only person that had talked to him that night who didn't say something completely wrong about his country. Foreign knowledge win!

Re: The thread of win
I almost never have anything for the thread of win.
Over the last few years, my friend and I have entered the Lightsaber Choreography Contest. We've never won or placed, but we've done OK. Ryan Wieber has always expressed his enjoyment of our entries, even saying that our first entry was "in his top 5" for that year.
I bought carbon fiber tubes from Ryan Wieber's shop to upgrade for our next lightsaber fight, and I didn't notice until I moved the empty shipping tube that it had a note in it.
A note from Ryan himself.
I think this is win.

Re: The thread of win
Missed seeing John St. John, John Patrick Lowrie, and Ellen McLain at Magfest. BUT I did get to see friends I haven't seen in a year, played some great games with people I didn't know, and got to meet some really nice people from Canada. Shame I never got their names, but I get the feeling I've seen them almost once a week for a few years.

Re: The thread of win
Im a little disappointed, I was hoping for caramelldansen to the music of Newsies.

I like this one better, even if the girl up front is really confused and off.
BTW, Newsies was one of my wife's Christmas presents.
